MagnaWave PEMF Therapy Can Be Beneficial for Founder and Laminitis

Founder and laminitis are painful and potentially debilitating conditions that affect the hooves of horses, leading to significant discomfort and loss of mobility. These conditions can be challenging to manage and require a comprehensive approach to treatment and recovery. MagnaWave PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy offers a non-invasive, effective option to help horses recover and maintain their health.

Understanding Founder and Laminitis

Founder refers to the rotation or sinking of the coffin bone within the hoof, often as a result of chronic or severe laminitis. Laminitis, on the other hand, is the inflammation of the laminae—soft tissues inside the hoof that attach the hoof wall to the coffin bone. Causes of laminitis include:

  • Overfeeding of grains or lush pastures
  • Endocrine disorders like Cushing’s disease
  • Mechanical overload from injury or poor hoof care
  • Infections or systemic inflammation

Both conditions result in significant pain, inflammation, and compromised blood flow to the hoof. If left untreated, they can lead to long-term lameness or even necessitate euthanasia.

The Role of MagnaWave PEMF Therapy in Treatment

MagnaWave PEMF therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular repair, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. Here’s how it can benefit horses suffering from founder and laminitis:

  1. Reduces Pain and Inflammation

PEMF therapy is known for its ability to reduce inflammation by improving cellular function and enhancing circulation. In cases of laminitis, inflammation within the hoof is a primary source of pain and tissue damage. MagnaWave PEMF therapy can help alleviate this inflammation, providing relief for the horse and supporting the healing process.

  1. Improves Circulation to the Hoof

One of the challenges in managing laminitis and founder is poor blood flow to the affected area. Insufficient circulation can delay healing and worsen the condition. MagnaWave PEMF therapy enhances microcirculation, promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the hoof tissues while aiding in the removal of toxins and inflammatory byproducts.

  1. Supports Cellular Repair

At the cellular level, PEMF therapy stimulates energy production (ATP) and helps repair damaged cells. For horses with laminitis, this means faster recovery of the laminae and better overall hoof health.

  1. Reduces Stress and Enhances Comfort

Laminitis and founder can cause significant stress and discomfort in horses, impacting their quality of life. MagnaWave PEMF therapy is non-invasive and relaxing, offering a calming effect that helps the horse recover not only physically but also emotionally.

  1. Complements Other Treatments

PEMF therapy can be used alongside traditional veterinary treatments such as dietary management, corrective shoeing, and anti-inflammatory medications. Its ability to enhance circulation and promote healing can improve the overall effectiveness of these treatments.

How PEMF Therapy Works

MagnaWave devices deliver electromagnetic pulses that penetrate deep into the horse’s tissues. These pulses stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by:

  • Increasing cellular oxygenation
  • Enhancing lymphatic drainage
  • Reducing swelling and inflammation
  • Relieving pain naturally

The therapy sessions are safe, painless, and tailored to the individual horse’s needs. Regular sessions can provide ongoing support for horses recovering from laminitis or founder.

Testimonials

I am in awe yet again at the incredible healing power of PEMF. I saw this mare on Friday morning; she was in rough shape with laminitis. The owner was considering euthanasia. I MagnaWaved her twice 6 hours apart. After the first session, she was standing a bit better. After the second session, she walked around her stall well. I went yesterday for a 3rd session, and you would almost not know she had been sick! Her owner cried and told me that I saved her life. She said she was a skeptic and couldn’t believe the power of PEMF.

 

–Alisha Mckinnon, Certified Practitioner 

My horse was down the better part of 12-16 hours a day with over 10 degrees rotation on fronts with no sinking. I did use MagnaWave every other day. After two weeks, she was up and stayed up. I MagnaWaved her hooves about 10 minutes during a 40-minute session. Her back end became very weak due to compensating. I concentrated on the back, hips also, and spine. I have been dealing with laminitis episodes for years. The MagnaWave I purchased this year just for my mare definitely helped her overall. An important factor is that the underlying conditions need to be controlled in order for any healing to occur. In this case, my mare had insulin resistance and we found out recently she has Cushings. With correct meds and MagnaWave it is now a win/win! 

– Joni Sterlacci, Certified Practitioner

This cute little nugget is Sugarfoot. She’s been diagnosed with laminitis in her front feet. We do a full body session once a week and supplement with additional time on my MagEnergy mat afterward and once in between our weekly sessions. Her mom says that after only a week she’s walking better.

Conclusion

Managing founder and laminitis requires a multi-faceted approach, and MagnaWave PEMF therapy is an excellent addition to any treatment plan. By addressing inflammation, improving circulation, and supporting cellular repair, MagnaWave PEMF therapy can help horses recover faster and maintain long-term hoof health.

If your horse is struggling with founder or laminitis, consider exploring MagnaWave PEMF therapy as a part of their care. It’s a safe, effective, and proven way to enhance their recovery and quality of life.
